🙌🏼Here’s How to Win Holiday Extravaganza…

Sweet friend,

In the midst of the holiday festivities, it can be easy to fall off track, but when you reach for that second Christmas cookie, REMEMBER that over $2000 is on the line for the Holiday Extravaganza Challenge! Implement these three tips to help you win Holiday Extravaganza:

1. Mindfulness

2. Moderations

3. Movement

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! You are already close to two weeks into the challenge and we know you are killing it, so keep up the good work. It will pay off no matter what!

Perfect Portions Recipe Subscription

“I think I may have found a way to bring Perfect Portions back, just in a different light. Think of it as Perfect Portions 2.0!  A few clients and friends have been asking for me to share my favorite recipes. I am always slightly hesitant as I seldom follow a recipe fully.  So, it would require me digging up the recipe, noting my omissions and substitutions and by then it’s just a mess. However, I have finally come up with a system and thought some of you may be interested in my Perfect Portions recipe share subscription.”

Eggplant Ricotta Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 medium eggplant

• Kosher salt

• All-purpose flour, for dredging

• 2 large eggs

• 3/4 cup breadcrumbs

• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra- virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

• 2 large plum tomatoes, diced

• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

• 1 cup ricotta cheese

• Shredded fresh basil, for topping

Preparation:

1. Thinly slice the eggplant into rounds and season with salt. Pour some flour into a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in another dish. In a third dish, mix the breadcrumbs and parmesan. Dredge the eggplant in the flour, then dip in the eggs and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the eggplant until golden, about 2 minutes per side, adding more oil between batches, if necessary. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

3. Toss the tomatoes with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and the vinegar in a bowl. Spoon some ricotta onto each eggplant slice. Top with the tomato mixture and basil.
